Pros

Opportunities are available if you connect and reach out to different people.

There are some outstanding people who really do live the NetApp values and are great to work with.

Cons

For every great person at NetApp, there are a number of very difficult people. Some are in big leadership positions and are secured. Some are day-to-day contributors, and NetApp is too nice to do anything about them. Layoffs seem arbitrary and do not necessarily weed out these difficult, unproductive folks. Salary seems to be on the lower range for Silicon Valley.

Advice to Management

Find a way to identify people who are leeches and bringing other people down and either remediate the problem or get rid of it. It hurts the rest of the population when they are still there and are impossible to remove.
